Question

question 10 of 10
which of these was a result of the emancipation proclamation?

a. the conflict between the north and south ended.

b. the southern states officially separated from the union.

c. the northerners felt as if they were fighting for a good cause.

d. the slaves were granted the right to vote.

Explanation:

• Option A: The conflict (Civil War) ended with the surrender of the South, not the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Option B: Southern states seceded before the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
• Option C: The Emancipation Proclamation transformed the war's purpose to include ending slavery, so Northerners felt they were fighting for a just cause (ending slavery) along with preserving the Union.
• Option D: The right to vote for slaves (and later African Americans) came with amendments like the 15th, not the Emancipation Proclamation.

Answer:

C. The Northerners felt as if they were fighting for a good cause.
